Last of the Summer Wine | Classification: Television Directed: - Alan J.W. Bell Love Summer Wine Having watched the last few seasons of Last of the Summer Wine on PBS for a few years now, it is very nice to see what the show was like in the beginning. I love the characters and the setting for the show. I wish more seasons were available on VHS or DVD. Love the Series, Dislike the DVDs I was so looking forward to playing all 4 DVDs. I planned to pop them all in my player, and program it to play one DVD after the other without interruption (I do this all the time with other favorite DVDs; e.g., Absolutely Fabulous and Nikita). What I discovered is that these DVDs defy programming. It is necessary to start each one manually, and it is also necessary to start each episode in the last 2 DVDs manually; there is no way to select "Play All." The company that produced these DVDs, BFS Video, has also added very ominous and annoying sounding music to accompany the obligatory copyright warning at the beginning. While I love Summer Wine and its characters, and didn't mind paying the [$$$] and change to be able to visit them whenever I wanted, I will NEVER purchase another video produced by BFS. Great DVD Presentation of a Great Series Summer Wine fans rejoice, this is a first class DVD presentation of this superb series. The extras (described by others here) are all interesting and fun--the Christmas special (which we don't seem to get here in the US on public TV) is a real treat. The transfer is of an excellent quality. The "1995 Vintage" was a fine one and the episodes have that combination of humor and gentle commentary on human nature that makes this series so unique. Let's hope that the powers that be are sufficiently happy with sales of this to issue further "vintages".
